- It lies on the southern end of the Milky Way's visible band.
- The name Crux is Latin for cross.
- Though it is the smallest of all 88 modern constellations, Crux is among the most easily distinguished, as each of its four main stars has an apparent visual magnitude brighter than +2.8.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Crux article was read about 190,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 76 and blocks with 78: each hit it takes is cut by 31 %.
